NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd s. VIII. Aug. 20. '5&, 



list of contributors to the Edinburgh Review : 

 Malcolm Laing, Lord Melbourne, Coleridge, 

 Daniel Ellis, Dr. John Gordon, Robert Grant, 

 Thomas Campbell, Phillimore, Sir H. Parnell, and 

 Sir W. Napier. 



In some other portion of the same work Sir H. 

 Davy is mentioned as having been a contributor 

 to the Edinburgh. And in Blachvood (vol. x. 

 p. 669.) it is stated that it is believed that John 

 Wolcot (Peter Pindar) wrote an article on the 

 fine arts in one of the early numbers of the 

 Edinburgh. 



The late Justice Talfourd is always understood 

 to have been a contributor to the same periodical. 



The object of my Query is to ascertain if any of 

 your readers can assist me by information of ar- 

 ticles contributed by any of the above writers, 

 more especially any by Coleridge, Thomas Camp- 

 bell, Sir W. Napier, Sir H. Davy, John Wolcot, 

 and Justice Talfourd. 



I of course presume that by Coleridge is meant 

 Samuel Taylor — there is but one " Coleridge." 

 If any other of the family were meant, he should 

 have been distinguished by his initials. J. B.

Cokam or Coxam House : Mr. Crewe's Wyr- 

 wail, Chideok or Chadwick. — Shute and Coxam 

 Houses in Devon are mentioned in a Diary of the 

 seventeenth century in connexion with the siege of 

 Taunton, 1644. Shute was the seat of the Poles 

 near Axminster. Can anyone give me informa- 

 tion about Cokam or Coxam? Vicars (Parliamen- 

 tary Chronicle, iii.82.) speaks of Mr. Crewe's house 

 as near to John Pole's. What was the name of 

 that house ? Wyrwail and Chideok are also 

 named in the same Diary in the same connexion. 

 What were these houses or places ? Vicars speaks 

 in the same connexion of Lord Pawlett's house 

 and of Mr. Arundell's, called Chadwick, which, I 

 suppose, is the same as Chideok. W. C. 



" The Traveller." — Who is the author of a 

 drama called The Traveller ; or, the Marriage in 

 Sicily, 6vo. 1809? Z. A. 



John VanLewen, M.D.— Where may I learn any 

 biographical particulars of Dr. John Van Lewen, 

 who was the son of a Dutch physician, and settled 

 in Ireland at the close of the seventeenth century ? 

 Mr. Gilbert, in his History of the City of Dublin, 

 vol. iii. p. 262., supplies the following informa- 

 tion : — 



" Van Lewen studied at Leyden under Boerhaave, and 

 became very eminent in his profession, being the only ac- 

 coucheur in Dublin during the early part of the last century. 

 [How matters are changed in the Irish metropolis !] He 

 was elected President of the College of Physicians in 



1734, and died at his house here [Molesworth Street] in 

 1736 ; his daughter Letitia, who became the wife of the 

 Kev. Matthew Pilkington, was well known in the last 

 century by her misfortunes and her writings." 



Abhca. 

 St. Andrew's Parish, Dublin. — Why is the 

 parish of St. Andrew, in the city of Dublin, en- 

 titled to the unusual privilege of having three 

 churchwardens ? Is there any parallel case else- 

 where ? Abhba. 



Illoques. — Our hare-hunters, when they view 

 their game, cry illope ! illope ! as the fox-hunters 

 cry tally-ho ! In the famous Bohe of St. Albans, 

 Dame Julian Berners directs them thus : — 



" And yf j-our houndes chace well at your wyll : 

 Then thre motes shall ye blowe bothe lowde and shvll, 

 There one and there a nother, there he pasturyd hath ; 

 Then saye (Illoques, illoques) in the same path." 



Is our modern phrase a corruption of this ; if 

 so, what -is the derivation of it ? The word oc- 

 curs again a few lines farther on, and in Wynkyn 

 de Worde's edition (1496), it is always printed in 

 red letters. A. A. 



Poets' Corner. 



London Antiquities. — From an old magazine, 

 published in May, 1751, I extract the follow- 

 ing:— 



" As some boys were playing in King Henry's Yard by 

 East Smithfield, they observed near a gravestone some- 

 thing like the head of an image, and the ground being 

 dug up, two large stone images of curious workmanship 

 were found there, which by the inscription appears (s/c) 

 to have been there ever since Henry the Vlth's reign." 



Can any London antiquary point out other re- 

 ferences to this discovery, and say what these 

 images of curious workmanship were? T. B. 



" The Complete Irish Traveller." — Two 8vo. 

 volumes, entitled The Complete Irish Traveller, 

 and "illustrated with elegant copper-plates," were 

 published anonymously in London in the year 

 1788. Who was the author ? Abhba. 



Dr. Samuel Pegge. — In whose possession are 

 the poetical MSS. of Dr. Samuel Pegge, author of 

 Ano7iymiana, Sfc. ^c? Mr. Pegge died in 1800, 

 [ob. Feb. 14, 1796.] Z. A. 



Sir James Flower, Bart. (M.P. 1841-7.) — 

 Can any of your readers acquaint me with the 

 burial-place of the above-named baronet, who 

 died at Mill Hill, Hendon, Middlesex, May 17, 

 1850? His epitaph also would be acceptable. 

 The first baronet. Sir Charles, according to the 

 Gent's Mag., Feb. 1835, was buried in Aldgate 

 churchyard, and has probably a tomb there or a 

 tablet in the church. F. G. 



Sir Robert Peel, Bart. (M.P. 1809-50.) — The 

 title and date of any publication relating to the life
